LONDON .MTIRNALS. [YIIO4 THE MORNIN, [Morn Lug Post.] BANIFORGERIES.-1 it the report which we give of the proceedings that took place on Sa torday, at the Old Bailey, the public will find matter for deep and serious reflection. Two Ju- rits have set their faces against the system hi therto pursued by the Bank. The result of their verdicts may probably lead to , some change of the general system ; and a rational hope may be ett terteined, that it cash payments cannot be . re sat red, it plan will at least be adopted for., issuing to the public a new species of notes, of which the imitation may be easily detected... The Bank will now feel that they must do something of this kind ; they will see that their own credit, now placed in jeopardy by the verdicts of. juries, reader it necessary for them to adopt some of the numerous suggestions that have been made to them by ingenious and benevolent men, and the adoption of which we have so repeatedly and so urgently recommended to them. In the mean time it is some consolation to the Public to be afforded an opportunity of ascertaining in some degree the difference between real and forged Bank Notes, though they are not possessed of the complete means of detecting the forgeries. In the course of one of the trials to which we allude, Mr. GLOVER, one of the Inspectors of the Bank, thus far explained' the difference between the real and the forged Bank Notes In the first place, the paper is not of the same kind ; next, the water-mark in the forged notes is indented , by a sudden pressure made after the paper is manu factured, whereas the water-mark of the Bank of England Notes is interwoven, as it were, with the manufacturing of the paper of which they are made. Then as to the numbers, or figures of the .different Notes ; those belonging to the Bank are stereotyped, while the figures of the forged Notes are always struck upon the copper they are engraved on." [The Times.] The death of 'her Majesty the late Queen of England has called forth, amongst Englishmen in foreign countries, every proper testimony of us tiuttal attention and respect. All our countrymen at Paris are clad in deep mourning ; and the last presentation of the diplomatic corps to the French King having taken place on the Ist instant, being the eve of the day appointed for the Royal Fitne rat, Sir Charles Stunrt, the British Ambassador, did not appear at Court. The Duke of Welling ton has declined a guard of honour at his hotel in Paris; we presume, because his official character has terminated with his command-in-chief of the foreign army within the-French frontier. His Grace and the British Ambassador were intro duced to his Majesty on the 2d, wearing large black scarves. It has been already stated, that Cambaceres and other exiles are on the point of returning to France, with the King's permission. The half-pay Officers also at Colmar, with Gene ral Pntliod at their head, have been addressing the Due d'Augoulerne in an oration, the language of which, it correctly reported, • savours rather of impatience than of penitence. Wi:lr the year 1815 fresh in public recollection, it requires no small nerve, one would imagine, on the part of certain military bodies, to talk about dying for their king. THEATRICAL It.EGIsTER..

The Duke of WELLINIFTON and Sir CHARLES STUART, the English Ambassador, had audiences of the ICANG on Wednesday. The latter officially notified to his Majesty the death of the Queen of ENGLAND. The Duke of WELLINGTON after wards dined with his Majesty and the Royal Family. The Neapolitan Ambassador paid a visit to his Grace on Wednesday morning. The Duke D'ANGOULEIIO, on the' 27th, 28th, and 29th ult. visited Mezieres, Givet and Rocroy, and on the 30th proceeded to Mauheuge. His Royal Highness was expected at Dunkirk yester day, at Douay on Thursday next, and at Paris on Saturday. Another statement says he is to be in Paris this day. The Count de PALmer.LA, the Portuguese Am bassador to the Court of London, had arrived at Paris. A Vienna article contradicts the report of the Emperor of RUSSIA going to Petersburgh before proceeding to the Austrian capital, and states that his Imperial Majesty will arrive at the latter city in toe course of December. From Aix-la-Chapelle it is stated, that no written replies bad been returned to the various demands addressed to the Congress ; verbal an swers merely had been given, and several of the affairs, as before stated, are to be referred to the Diet of Frankfort. The Emperor of AUSTRIA, according to report, intends to pass the winter months in future every year in Italy. The following are extracts from the Journals of Friday : " PARIS, DEC. 4.—The King yesterday trans acted business with the Ministers for Foreign Af fairs and War. " The Duke de Richelieu had a conference yes terday morning with the Duke of Wellington. " The Court will go into mourning for the late Queen of England immediately after the opening, of the Session of the Chambers, on the 10th inst. " 'The Duke d'Angouletne arrived at Valen ciennes in the afternoon of the Ist inst. Lord Castlereagh arrived there a few hours previously. The Duke, on the 2d, inspected the fortifications ; then set out for Conde, and returned to Valen ciennes in - the evening.. Yesterday his Royal Highness was to set out for Lille. " The Duke of Wellington dined yesterday with the Doke de Richelieu. " Lord Castlereagh arrived at Paris at five o'clock yesterday afternoon. His Lordship alighted at the Hotel of the English Embassy, Rue du Faubourg Saint Honote. The Duke de Cambaceres was expected yes terday evening at Paris. FIVE PER CENTS. Wednesday 67 f. 25c.

We feel very great pleasure in being enabled to confirm POSITIVELY what we have before repeat edly stated, viz. that there is not the least founda tion for the reports so actively in circulation of the intended retirement of the Earl of LIV.ERPOOL. We believe. that this POSITIVE information o❑ our part will behighly gratifying to every friend to the honour and true interests of the British Empire. This Nobleman is one of the most able and strenuous supporters of our present happy Esta blishment in Church and State, and, menaced as it is by the ambition of Papists, he will remain firm on his .post, enjoying, as he well deserves, the con fidence of his Sovereign, and the esteem,.yenera tion, and gratitude of his Country, for the latidable perseverance and distinguished part which he took in the deliverance of Europe, and the restoration of peace and concord among nations. We present our Readers thii day with the copy' of an authentic Letter from the British Consul at Venice, .informing our Government that the Plague has actually appeared in the Lazarette of that Port. This letter confirms the reports which have prevailed, stating that this fatal disorder had broken out in' Albania. Accounts from Tunis, we are assured, also confirm the state- Mews in the French Papers of Wednesday' last, of the vast number of deaths which have daily appear ed in that place, arising from the same destructive malady. It is, therefOre, essentially incumbent on all who are engaged in the Quarantine Service to he upon the alert ; and we doubt not that our Government ‘vill use all possible vigilance and activity to prevent the approach of so dreadful a contagion.. (COPY) VENICE, Nov, 6; 1818. Lo4n—l ant sorry to acquaint your Lordship, that a Circular Letter, which I received yesterday front the vgustian Health Offlee, conkrros tha fears which have been for some days past entertained here, of the plague having ap peared in the Lasarette of this port, On the 6th ultimo, the Austrian Pieligo St. Qiovanni arrived at Venice, , from Val loan; in Albania, and the pasgengers having removed to the • Laaarette, one of them. showed symptoms of fever on the 510th, and died two days after.. On the 22d, three other vas , servers fell successively ill 011: the, 23d, Mb, and 26th, and died, the first on the 2801, the second on the 27th, and the third OH the 50th ultimo; since which, another has been at tacked, and died yesterday morning. The greatest precau tions have been immediately adopted by theßoard of Health; the vessel was instantly removed into a separate Anal, and all communication strictly interdicted between the passengers of the St. Giovanni and the other indiridnals at present in quarantine; and as this alarming malady has hitherto been entirely confined to the first, treat hopes artr—erttert44ried that it will he kept within the walls of the Lazarette, around which, for greater security, sentinels have been placed to prevent all approach. There are no English vessels at pre sent in this port, and only one under British colours belong ing to Malta,. I have the honour to remain, my Lord, - Your Lordship's most obedient h um ble Servant, (Signed) R. B. HOPPINER, Cousul-General. The flight Hon. Viscount Castlereagh, K.G. &c. &c. &c. A respectable Evening Paper is. not well in formed in doubting our account of the Red Snow seen by Captain (not Sir) JOHN Ross, being oc casioned by the excrements of the myriads of birds, which had their breeding places on the spot. Instead of iron being found there, "ly ing on the surface in heaps, and in consider- - able quantities," no iron was found, either there or elsewhere ; iron was heard of at some distance in the mountains, but not ",in heaps," the whole being confined, by the rePOrt of the Eskimaux, to two single pieces. It is true these pieces turn out to be meteoric, and to contain Nickel ; but Professor Batorns, who determined this, determined also, that the colouring matter of the snow contained a large portion of the Uric Acid, and concluded (or he was ignorant of the fact of the multitudes of birds) that it could only have been given by the excrement of birds, as we before stated, on the authority of an eye-witness. The Electors of Westminster are imperiously called upon, not merely for the honour of the City, but for the eventual security of ;tin CONSTI• TUTION, to attend to the measures which are in active preparation to force Mr. I-lonn9usa upon them by all the arts of Jacobinism, and all the fury of a purchased labble. A Meeting of the friends of this Candidate assembled on Tuesday last . at a public-house in Little Russell-street, Covent-garden, which may be considered as a Political Pandemonium. What will the Electors in general, consisting of some of the most elevated, dis tinguished, and opulent characters in the Country, say, when they hear that Citizen TUELWALL was one of the leading Orators at this Meeting ? His speeches, we are assured by a Person who was incited by curiosity, on passing the House, to follow the crowd into the ball of Faction, were marked by the grossest egotism and vanity, and the most vehement and vulgar abuse against Go vernment. This Person is one of those who were denominated " acquitted Felons." He is really• a man of no such talents as entitle him to the slightest distinction in society. Will the dignified City of Westminster suffer this man, Gam . ? JONES, HUNT, Dr. WAI SON, and the whole gang of Spa fields Politicians, to force their Representative - into the Legislative Body ?—A Gentleman who was present at this Meeting, having ventured to make some objection to -the,eourse,,p,fitle-praceeditits' was immediately turned out of the 'room in the most violent manner, and, from the detnocratical fury which marked the people in general, he had a miraculous escape in not having been trampled under foot. We cannot but feel great surprise that some of the higher Inhabitants of Westmin ster do not rouse against the miscreants who are endeavouring to disgrace the City by the election of a man to whom . a work is imputed that every Englishman, but such as formed the Meet ing .in question, would blush to own ; yet, Mr. HORIOUSE has not disavowed it. It has been al ways the custom for those who are Candidates for a seat in Parliament, to address the Electors with a fair, open, and manly declaration of their politi cal principles and aims.—Mr. HoznousE has been repeatedly required to avow his Political Creed ; but he remains in contemptuous silence. He has been asked whether he is an • advocate for. Annual Parliaments and .Unirersal Suffrage ; and to what limitations his 'notions of Parlia. mental - , Reform extend. But nothin z ;V will induce him to come forward, like all other Candidates, to let the Electors know his public principles and views.—What must be inferred from this silence but that he is a decided advocate for Annual Parlia ments—the bane 'of order and decency, and the forerunner of total ruin to our present form of Government, which has long rendered the people of this Country the envy of all others. Universal suffra g e is another certain road to the destruction of our present happy Establishment in Church and State. It is calculated to produce nothing but turbulence, riot, and bloodshed. The admirers of these doctrines are ready to support them by all the sanguinary horrors of a French Revolution, Captain Sir MURRAY MAXWELL had nearly been murdered by those wretches, and if his friends had not rescued him at a . perilous moment, he would, doubtless, have been really trodden under foot. Yet these are the friends and supporter` of Mr. Hoe HOUSE. It is so usual for these Se Fields and Palace-Yard Orators to give pomp ous acconnts of their Meetings, and to announ ce the Resolutions which they pass on those occ asions for the good of the Counthj, that the silence wilic4 they have observed respecting their Pandemnindia Meeting on Tuesday last, may fairly be adini tte( Elector s as a proof that they were afraid the • at lar - ge would revolt With - ii - oai,r from th eir principles and objects. They therefore decrt/r'' it necessary to carry on their works of " 41- ness till they have a well-tutored mob njay. intimidate, if possible, ail honest men from' ve" (tiring to give their Votes. 'The fate of the CITY of LoudOo, and of the Uorotigh of SoutloValk' f ought to,operate as a warning' to the Electors -o1 Westminster. In - London an old sand fa il.° servant was turned out of thiit Seat which he 11 0 long held with honour, in order to make room 1 " e one only known• by the violence of his declatne* (ions, and the democracy of his principles. --43 the Borough of Southwark also another m ost excellent Representative, against whom ealtonni could not utter any charge likely to gain c redit with thinking men, was rejected, in order to b ring in a man wholly unknown to the Electors in gene ' ral, except that he had been one of the chief O.' situments in rescuing a French Traitor from the fate which he deserved, and who would himself hare suffered a severe punishment if he had nog Jt been saved by the lenity of the King,ofFRANC C ' should he observed too that the Candidate ' wbn thus brought his name into notice and popilla riti by his success in rescuing a Traitor to his "fur Sovereign, once published a work recording die ,eruelty of BUONAPARTE. in poisoning his O' troops , , and in destroying, in cold•blood, rhea; sands of men whose territories he had itivat te • , without provocation - ; a.nd yet fliimsatne'Llist o . of Ilovtor has since becorne : _a_Paziegyrist. olll l gonster whose barbarity he so jaatly;beld.
